Wenge 6.5 Board Foot Project Pack
Elevate your craftsmanship with our 6.5 Board Foot Wenge Project Pack. Native to Central Africa, this dense, kiln-dried hardwood is world-renowned for its dramatic dark brown to near-black hues and striking straight grain. Whether you are crafting high-end furniture or custom musical instruments, Wenge provides a bold, sophisticated aesthetic and unmatched durability. Each pack contains 36-48” long boards that have been surfaced to 15/16, totaling 6-1/2 board feet. Boards vary between 3” to 10” wide (not surfaced on 4 sides). Wood color, grain, and figure will wildly vary with each board—no two are the same.
Due to international shipping restrictions, we can only ship this product in the United States.
The Bold Ebony Alternative for Master Craftsmen
Discover the raw beauty and structural integrity of Wenge, one of Africa’s most sought-after exotic hardwoods. This project pack features 6.5 board feet of high-quality, kiln-dried lumber, specifically curated for woodworkers who demand excellence.
Wenge is celebrated for its deep, rich coloration—often used as a premium substitute for Ebony. While its natural state features chocolate tones with contrasting light streaks, the wood darkens over time to a luxurious, nearly black finish.
